Summary

Sometimes in this world of Instagram, Youtube and HGTV it might seem like everyone else is pulling off massive renovation projects in just a few months' time. Endless budgets (or unrealistic more likely) and several contractors make it all happen. The renovation story of our last farmhouse might be a little more relatable. We bought it for a super cheap price, lived with the ugly (other than a little paint) for several years until we paid it off. After that we used a modest budget to slowly finish the project. Our cheap little fixer upper was eventually featured in Do it Yourself Magazine and Flea Market Style!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Simple Farmhouse Life Podcast episode two.
0:05.0	Today we're going to be talking about the renovation story of our first farmhouse.
0:10.0	It was a 10-year process that took a ton of time and thought and I want to share it with you today.
0:18.0	My name is Lisa, a mom of six and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farm House on Boone.
0:24.0	Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking
0:29.0	and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way.
0:32.0	Now this episode idea actually came from mom and entrepreneur life along the way.
0:32.6	Now this episode idea actually came from my daughter.
0:36.8	I told her I was going to start a podcast
0:38.9	and that I needed some episode ideas and she gave me one.
0:42.7	She gave me two actually.
0:44.2	She said you should make a podcast
0:46.8	about how our last house was really ugly
0:50.2	and you made it pretty.
0:51.8	And I thought that was just a really good idea. I already had a list of about a
0:56.6	hundred different podcast ideas and that one was one that wasn't on there.
1:01.3	Kind of moved on, we are in a new farmhouse at this
1:04.7	point and I didn't really think about the old one and how anybody would want to hear
